42

The Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and I for one and glad of the light outside, I feel safer knowing that it's 9 PM and it's still bright outside. At least I think I do.

It is also my forty second post. Now I, being a fan of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy know that 42 is a significant number. And by significant, I mean the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything. It is also Lewis Carroll's favourate number, which he snuck into Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass a good few times. (42 Illustrations. The Red Queen's and the White Queen's birthdays are thought to be equal to 42x42x42 days.)

7 sixes 6 sevens 7 8's no that's 56 not 42...

It's also considered unlucky in Japan, with "Four Two", "Shi Ni." sounding like the Japanese for "Unto Death." In the book of Revalations, The Beast, is meant to hold domination over the earth for 42 months.

Also, make sure when you encounter the The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, have your towel wrapped around your head. Because if you can't see it, it can't see you42.


In a completely non 424242424242 unrelated note42, I was listening 42 this and it made me smile.



Heh. Slenderman wants his 42 Dollahs back, 
he's at the door, 
whipping his hair back and forth.
LIKE A BAWS!
